RED - London and Hooke Park
Monday–Friday, July 27-August 14, 2015
Summer DLAB
experiments with the integration of algorithmic/generative design
methodologies and large-scale digital fabrication tools. Continuing its color-based agenda, Summer DLAB immerses in ‘RED’ for its 2015 cycle. RED is the starting point to investigate principles of natural formation processes and interpret
them as innovative architectonic spaces. These concepts are carefully
interwoven with spatial, performance-based, and structural criteria to
create full-scale working prototypes.
Summer DLAB RED will explore the phenomenon of decay in nature. By investigating the
process of decay across various scales in natural organisms, we will formulate
rules of generating decomposition as our design research area. These rules will
then evolve into design strategies for the creation and fabrication of a
large-scale prototype. The design and fabrication process will be aided by robotic fabrication techniques in AA’s Hooke Park premises.
The
three-week-long program is a two-phase process. During the
two-week initial phase, participants benefit from the unique atmosphere and
facilities of AA’s London home. The second phase, lasting for a week, shifts to AA’s woodland site in Hooke Park. It will revolve around the fabrication and assembly of a full-scale architectural intervention that unifies the design
goals of Summer DLAB.
